I like my IPAs like I like my women... young and blonde.
My god... i hope you mean IPAs that are at least 18 years old.

I like my whiskey like like my women... 18-21 years old... Brown... Expensive... I forgot where I was going with this....
Smell like oak? Filtered through charcoal? I'm trying to help.
I'm going to put in my 2 cents worth then git right outta town. I like some hoppy, but not a lot. It's just a personal preference thing. Then there are the macho yuppie scum types that liken hops in beer to jalepenos in nachos. Yeah, I drink this beer, not because it's good, but because it's got more hops than the Easter bunny and I can take it. Practically undrinkable cat urine, I'll pass on that, I don't judge beer lovers on the IBU scale, I judge them on their love of the beer. That's what's important, I have a couple of friends who think Arrogant Bastard Ale is the next best thing to mother's milk. I don't like it. But I don't berate them for liking it. Take a look at http://www.slate.com/articles/life/...ess_is_ruining_craft_beer_s_reputation.1.html
I just wish we had a lot more variety in the commercial market.
Am I the only one out there who absolutely, positively sees nothing of value in the IPA craze? I loved that beer was changing away from pale lagers... but dang, it's almost like everybody and their grandmother wants to do yet another IPA with astonishingly unbalanced IBUs and finished with Cascade hops. over 50% of the craft beer section in my local beverage centers and grocery stores are IPAs. In my area, the IPA has become the Budweiser of the craft beer world.
Please, please, please... if there is anybody else out there like me, share your experiences in this thread. I feel like a lone island in an ocean of bitter, grapefruity, malt-deprived beer.
You probably have an allelic polymorphism of your bitter taste receptor gene T2R16. Boom....Science!

Isnt that a line from a taylor swift song?
who's-a-whaty?
Boom pseudoscience!
Everything in that article about that gene affecting perception of bitter flavor is conjecture. They call the gene a marker and say that they can't figure out why, and not for lack of trying, so here are some things we pulled out of our butts that don't hold up to experimentation.
Hoppy beers were always my least favourite. Definitely always preferred the darker more malty/grainy brews. Though I have pretty much only bought different IPAs over the last few months and meh. I only really enjoy them when they are super hoppy. Hoptimum is probably the best hoppy beer I've had. Anything less hoppy IMO is just not worth while. Kinda of like the difference between a Guinness(watered down nasty) and a maybe a founders breakfast stout.
